In April, Nation Of Language released a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher Than The Rest" for a limited edition 7". Now, the Brooklyn synthpop trio is finally sharing the B-side, an unreleased track called "The Conversation."
"'The Conversation' is a song that's been haunting me for a few years now, one of my personal favorites I've written, yet it's never found a home on an album," Ian Richard Devaney expounds. "It's extremely contained in the sense that when I write out the lyrics it reads more like a standalone poem than most of our songs, and it dabbles in storytelling in a much different way than I'm used to doing. It's a vignette, centered around two people whose lives are so intertwined, and have been moving towards this one conversation, this inflection point, where the things that need to be said might finally be said."
